how did you add lights to the fractal design fans as i am thinking of using lights for a hd drivve led on the fans ?

should be getting mine tomorrow but still can not build it as i am wating for ocuk to get some gfx cards in.

just a quick question i am getting a seasonic gold 650w psu and was woundering if the power cable will reach as i noticed the pics above as an extension?

thanks
 
There is a post a few pages back about the LEDs. The holes come pre-drilled so you just have to pop them in, wire them up and add current-limiting resistors if needed. I don't think it was mentioned whether you need 3mm or 5mm LEDs though.
 
It has to be said it s one rather sexy case :)
Personally though I would have prefered a nice slick looking window on the side panel rather than solid, but each to their own :D

You'll probably need an extension for the 8-pin ATX cable, as the connector on most (all?) boards is a long way from the PSU. You'll probably be OK without an extension for the 24-pin cable.
 
oh well got it today and its damaged not happy, the sound proofing on the inside has come of the back where the motherbaord goes, and it took ages to get the side panel off as it was traped and when i did the sound proofing was hanging off and is ripped.

i would have thought this stuff would be totaly glued on.

Yeah they do need some better glue, my main panel (left) hangs a bit, flatted it
and seems fine now. Pretty happy with the rest of the case though.
 
Well here's what mine looks like, the whole thing was hanging of when I took the side panel off and the weight of the padding ripped and left a small peace on the side. Beleave it or not only 10% of it was left on the whole padding is not glued on properly all the glue is stuck the metal side but nothin on the padding.

What will this be like in a few months time will all this padding start comming off everyones case

Ocuk don't seem to be very helpful, on about replacment parts which I am not accepting it's a whole new case or my cash back this should not be happening and still herd nothing back. dont know if its been used or what but i am not happy to accept this case simple as that. its a new one or a refund as i have looked into my rights to even suggest to replace the panel only is a joke the black panel could be a different colour or anything.
